What are the Challenges and Opportunities of AI in Mental Health Care? 

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming mental health care, from chatbots offering support for anxiety and depression to predictive tools helping clinicians identify risk earlier. As these technologies grow more advanced and accessible, they also raise urgent questions: Are they safe? Are they effective? And what are the ethical and societal stakes?

To explore these topics, the Academy’s AI and Mental Health Care project has been convening an interdisciplinary steering committee cochaired by Paul Dagum (Applied Cognition), Sherry Glied (NYU), and Alan Leshner (AAAS Emeritus). For the release of their publication they were joined by Steering Committee members Kacie Kelly (Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute) and (Arthur Kleinman (Harvard University) for a discussion moderated by Sanjay Gupta (CNN, Emory University Medical School).
